Welcome to Balapitiya
A two hour drive south from Colombo, (82 KMs from Colombo) either along the costal road or by train, you'll find Balapitiya, a small, picturesque village with golden soft beaches.

Sweet water lagoons and the Maadu river with their amazing flora and fauna are making Balapitiya also and bird watchers.

Balapitiya is traditionally a fishing village and  you can see the scattered small
 
fishing hamlets bordering the beach. Fishing trips and/or river safaris can easily be arranged. Arrangements have been made to build a fisheries harbour at Balapitiya in Galle district. The new harbour will be equipped with modern facilities for the benefit of fishermen in the area.

The River House is a breathtaking South Asian style villa situated on the idyllic shores of the Madhu estuary. This is a timeless fantasy, perfect for a private getaway for a couple seeking secluded sensuality, or even family or close group of friends seeking to re-unite. Balapitiya provides an ideal location to explore the numerous sights of the South and West of Sri Lanka.

The last thing you’d want is to share this idyll with a crowd of tourists; this hotel, fortunately, operates on a scale that’s compatible with the quiet life. The River House is quite literally a house, comprising just five spacious suites, each with its own private verandah.
